YORK, Maine — Freedom Salon & Day Spa in Meadowbrook Plaza appears closed and the owner has filed for bankruptcy.

Daniel Dussault of Newburyport, Mass., filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Dec. 6 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Massachusetts, according to court records.

Dussault could not be reached for comment.

Freedom Salon's answering machine message states not to leave a message, as it will not be answered.

The machine also says the salon is closed, "and will be until further notice."

Freedom Salon was closed during normal business hours Friday.

Employees of the spa apparently didn't know the closing was coming, as a Facebook posting from an employee said she showed up to work in late November and was told to seek employment elsewhere.

The Find consignment shop, located in the same building in Meadowbrook Plaza at 647 Route 1, is also closed.

A sign on the door states, "I had no idea this was coming," that the shop, "is closed for good," and tells people to call "owner Lori Glazer" at the normal business number.

In court documents, The Find is also listed for bankruptcy under Dussault's name.

According to Glazer's Facebook page, she is married to Dussault and lives in Newburyport.

It is unknown whether Dussault plans to reopen the salon or consignment shop after reorganizing under Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Other business names listed in the bankruptcy records include October Ventures Inc., formerly doing business as Freedom Salon & Day Spa and The Find; and Mullet Bay Management, formerly doing business as Luxe Salon and Day Spa and Beaubella Salon & Day Spa in Brunswick.

All businesses have now ceased operations, according to court records.

Freedom Salon opened in June 2007 and closed Nov. 30, 2012, according to court records.

Larger creditors include Bank of America of Texas claiming $14,259 on a credit card; $239,552 claimed by CIT Bank Small Business Lending in Livingston, N.J., for Beaubella Salon; another $274,726 by CIT Bank Small Business for Freedom Salon & Day Spa; $35,000 for the lease of the space in Brunswick by The Tondreau Corporation of Brunswick; $2,100 in property taxes by the town of York; and $23,292 claimed by York Meadowbrook Plaza LLC of Old Orchard Beach.
